  • Town & Country April, 2011 the Culture: Art
    Town & Country April, 2011 The Culture: Art Shows of the Season Rachel Wolf Who'll claim contemporary art supremacy this month: L.A. or New York? California's newest art impresario, Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art director Jeffrey Deitch, is finally making waves in his new home. Along with a team of graffiti gurus, he'll launch the country's first full-scale museum survey of street art. "ART IN THE STREETS" (April 17-Aug. 8 at the Geffen Contemporary) traces the movement from its roots-with works by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat to contemporary practitioners like Banksy and Shepard Fairey. It's already deliciously controversial: In December, Deitch was accused of censorship when he painted over a MoCA-commissioned mural by the street artist Blu meant to promote the April exhibition. (Deitch thought residents would be offended by the antiwar work, which depicted coffins shrouded in $1 bills.) And contentiousness won't be in short supply on the East Coast either, thanks to KARA WALKER, the New York artist best known for her raunchy silhouettes and stop-motion animations about race and womanhood. On April 23, Walker mounts her largest exhibition of new work since 2008, a two-venue show at Chelsea's Sikkema Jenkins gallery and Lehmann Maupin's Lower East Side locale (through June 4). Of particular interest is a new video that builds on the scenic work Walker did for Lincoln Center's recent production On the Levee, a drama about the worst river flood, pre-Katrina, in U.S. history. .

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The rise of neo-conservatism defined the critical context of many appraisals of artistic work produced in downtown New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although initial reviews of the scene were largely enthusiastic, subsequent assessments of artistic work from this period have been largely negative. Artists like Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf have been assessed primarily in terms of gentrification, commodification, and political commitment relying upon various theoretical assumptions about social processes. The conclusions reached have primarily centred upon the lack of resistance by these artists to post­ industrial capitalism in its various manifestations.

  • Shopping Dissatisfaction Is on the Rise but Savvy Complaints Get Attention
    Shopping Dissatisfaction Is on the Rise But Savvy Complaints Get Attention Retail Executives Share Tips for Getting Problems Solved By Elizabeth Holmes, Dec. 18, 2013 The holidays can feel like a test of your mastery of the seasonal arts of shopping and—unfortunately—complaining. It's crunch time for gift buyers, the week when stores and websites see a surge in sales, and with it comes more potential for problems and frustrations. The multitude of ways to do holiday shopping—in stores, online, from a smartphone—poses new challenges for shoppers and stores. Whether it's faulty merchandise, the wrong price or shipping that is too slow, time-starved customers want a resolution and they want it fast. Luxury and mid-price department stores increasingly see customer service as their main attraction and the best way to draw in shoppers from discount stores and online sellers. "We spend a lot of time, money and energy attracting new customers," says Richard Baker, chief executive of Hudson's Bay Co. HBC.T - 1.60% , owner of Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor. "The last thing we want to do is, after all that work, lose a customer over a bad experience." That is why Andrea Robins spent several hours on a recent weekday hunting for a handbag. Ms. Robins is Saks's senior director of customer service, who solves problems that escalate from any of the retailer's 113 full-price stores and outlets. A customer at a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Florida had bought a $1,850 Gucci bag to be shipped to her daughter in Washington state.

No, a typewriter. No, a toaster. No, a piece of pie.” These words were exclaimed by a visitor to Claes Oldenburg's 1961 East Village storefront, trying to figure out what product she had just been examining.2 As the viewer encountered a series of handmade objects representing mass-produced goods, she found herself in a storefront oddly mimicking a retail space, creating an ambiguous space where common distinctions between “art” and “commerce” had seemingly collapsed.
